How Kunkka and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Slardar win 50.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,444 matches.
Setting up a kill with this pair revolves around a clean physical damage burst. Slardar's main job is to initiate and apply Corrosive Haze to a priority target, shredding their armor. This single spell massively increases the impact of Kunkka’s Tidebringer, turning a good cleave into a devastating one on that specific hero. The lockdown can also stack up well if Kunkka layers his Torrent and Ghostship on top of Slardar’s initial stun. The main issue is execution. Both heroes need to land their abilities on the right person at the right time. When their timings are off, or if the enemy can split up effectively, the whole plan can fall apart.
